Private Crazy Rich Jedi

[Xian Xiao]

Xian giggled, giving Noriko a playful elbow as she leaned into the mirror, her face lighting up with a mixture of mischief and determination.

"Alright, alright," she said, grinning. "I see… me! I see a Jedi padawan who's going to kick butt, protect people, and maybe occasionally break a few rules because, well, adventure! And… I see someone who's got a big family and a granddaughter who thinks I'm awesome—which, obviously, I am." She puffed her chest slightly, mimicking Noriko's gesture with a mock-serious nod.

"And… my name? Nah, Xiao's fine. I mean, it's me. Changing it wouldn't make me any cooler than I already am!" She elbowed Noriko again, this time with an extra wink. "But if it gets you to stop bossing me around, maybe I could try Ike… just kidding! Xiao forever."

Her laughter bubbled through the room, a little wild, a little triumphant, the kind of sound that carried hope and stubbornness all in one.

"Never... I will never stop bossing you around cause as the senior jedi in the pair of us it is my duty to make sure you understand the chain of command." She looked at her wrapping aan arm around her shoulder. "It is the chain over there in the corner I get with a collar, put on your neck aand start dragging you around with me to learn. Next lesson now that we have your saber, now that we have your robes aand family lines is to get you able to do some cool force powers. I am thinking we teach you how to put all that fire and venom in your attitude with a fireball belch. Let you be aable to fire off some pyro with your mouth."
